If Lucas had kept on revising the original trilogy, eventually Obi-Wan would have measured Luke's midichlorian count.

What do you mean "If"? He is still revising the original trilogy, making small (and some large) changes to it each time a new copy of the movies is released. - Friendfed Mr. Noodle - -

That would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath on that. Also, because of the weird licensing, etc., Disney still doesn't really seem to own "Episode IV" yet (the other 5 movies are available through Disney Movies Anywhere, the first one isn't). - Friendfed Mr. Noodle - -

If 5 out of 6 cops (small town) resigned in Parma, MO because of corruption, why didn't the 6th one get invited to the reindeer games?

Surprised Twitter's freaking out today about Twitter optionally allowing users to receive DMs from anyone when it was announced months ago.

One thing from the Marvel Comics universe that Daredevil on Netflix was right to avoid mentioning: organized crime is the "Maggia". Really.

AHHHH, I just got to the moment in Daredevil where they exposition that the Yakuza is the "Japanese Mafia". Not "Maggia". - Andrew C - -

The Senator Professor Drops By The Shebeen - http://www.esquire.com/ne...

1 decade ago from iPad - Comment - Hide - - -

"The one thing that the Senator Professor understands that most of these people don't care to understand is that the interests of "average Americans" and the needs of "the business community" in the increasingly competitive global argle-bargle are in direct conflict, and will remain so as long as the "business community" continues to combine the essential patriotism of a potato blight with the business plan of the Barbary Pirates. She's already got them running scared. That can be a huge political weapon for the HRC campaign if they know how to use it correctly, a proposition that, admittedly, I make only 50-50 at this point." - Andrew C - -

Since the interests of moderate/conservative Democratic politicians tend to be in line with those of "the business community," I'm not sure how likely they are to notice that distinction. - John B. - -

A Legendary Redesign of Helvetica, Reborn After 30 Years - http://www.wired.com/2015... http://www.wired.com/wp-c...

1 decade ago - Comment - Hide - - -

"That readability is what draws Rhatigan to the font. Helvetica was designed for use in headlines and advertisements, but when people started using it indiscriminately for larger chunks of smaller-set text, it lost some of its magic. “Helvetica looks so great when it’s handled skillfully and used for these big bold graphic treatments, but as an everyday information typeface, it falls a little flat,” Rhatigan says. Univers “is crisp and clean and it’s great, but it is a little cold,” he adds. “It’s functional but a little bit severe, let’s say.” Unica hits a sweet spot between the two, Rhatigan says: Not quite as quirky as Helvetica, not quite as dispassionate as Univers. “Unica is beautiful, crisp, and modern and rationalized, but it has that humanity in it,” he says.

"The show ran for seven seasons, towards the end of the era in which TV special effects were still noticeably dinkier than movie effects. [â¦] If you rewatch the episode in which Tasha Yar dies, the emotional resonance of her untimely passing is pretty severely marred by the fact that her killer appears to be a man in a bedazzled garbage bag trying to shake staticy unspooled VHS tape off of his arms. - Andrew C - -
